Trans Global Projects is pleased to announce the opening of a new corporate office in Hong Kong.\n\n

The wholly-owned subsidiary has been created to serve clients importing and exporting heavy industrial material and equipment involved in major construction projects both to and from Hong Kong and China.\n\n

Early successes since incorporation have seen the company handle the shipment of steel line pipe from China; the shipment of tunnel boring equipment from China to Hong Kong; and the movement of some main steel structure trusses for the new Hong Kong Cruise Terminal Project.\n\n

A Japanese engineering and construction firm has contracted Trans Global Projects to implement a three-year management, training and inspection programme to prevent the introduction of biosecurity risk material into Australia. This is in connection with the client’s own contract to construct a world-scale gas liquefaction plant project in Northern Territory, Australia.\n\n

Biosecurity implementation is critical when importing any goods into Australia in order to protect its fragile and unique environment, as well its vital agricultural industry.\n\n

With involved parties unused to working to the strict quarantine standards required by Australia, part of the work will involve a radical change in mind-set. This involves training of various personnel and regular inspections in worldwide locations to ensure compliance for the entire project.\n\n

A Trans Global Projects quarantine specialist will be placed in-house in the client’s office in Japan for the three-year period.\n\n

In keeping with the fast pace of modernisation of Azerbaijan, Trans Global Projects’ branch in the capital city, Baku, has recently moved to larger, more modern office premises. \n\n

The move reflects the continued, successful expansion of the company’s business in the country. An operating branch was first established in Azerbaijan in February 2000. Almost since incorporation this has been staffed entirely by Azeri nationals.\n\n

Over the intervening years the company has been involved in many of Azerbaijan’s major oil, gas and energy construction projects, including four major pipelines and numerous power-related projects.\n\n

The Baku branch’s client base ranges from Azeri state-owned enterprises through international oil companies to global EPC contractors and major equipment manufacturers. \n\n

Critically-required materials have been successfully transported from the UK to a fabrication yard in the United Arab Emirates.\n\n

As part of an ongoing logistics management contract for a leading North Sea oil company, Trans Global Projects chartered a dedicated Antonov 124 aircraft to deliver the two deck castings of 32,000kg each.\n\n

The flight was operated between East Midlands Airport, UK (EMA) and Al Maktoum International Airport, UAE (DWC), from where the cargo was trucked to the project fabrication yard in Jebel Ali Free Zone. The deck castings were loaded using the ramp system through the nose of the aircraft. \n\n

Just 20 hours passed from the moment the cargo left its UK manufacturing point to arrival at the project fabrication yard.\n\n
